just to let you know, my pc is sick, maybe fatally, so if you don't see me for a bit, that's why!
wendy-- i had written you a critique and my comp logged off. your piece is gorgeous! you have no need to feel you're not good enough, you do beautiful work! i hope some day to be able to quilt half as well. mmmm, yummy!!
just an idea, what about raising the long string of beads to about an inch or so below the center top beads. i think they blend in against the green of the tree and they should be where they can be seen. it will add a little visual weight to the branches of the tree and creates a balance of the airiness of the top of the tree and the solidity of the tree and roots. just a thought. such gorgeous work! if you get tired of it (as if that could happen, lol) i have the perfect space for it in my living room!!!
, no, really!
